How Canada could cut its taxes down to a fraction of the current rate
Ras Kass' Toothpick:
I agree with pretty much all of those suggestions.
Also:
Treat Natives like any other Canadian, everyone should be equal.
Scrap the C.P.P.
Fund the military properly or scrap the whole thing. A half-ass military is pretty much useless.

Privatize the CBC - seriously, why should my family's tax dollars go toward a station we barely watch?
I disagree. I don't have a problem with my tax dollars funding the CBC. I do have a problem with the crap they have on the CBC tho. The Government also funds recording artists, I think it's a good thing. It's a lot harder for Canadian artists to get funding because there aren't as many record labels here as in the USA. The CBC just needs a facelift.
Scrap the gun registry - what a fucking waste of 2 billion dollars.
Agree
Quit making everything have to be in both French and English!! - It should only be in areas where it is of equal (or close to) bilingualism.
Not quite sure what you mean here. Only things that are in both French and English are products, and my tax dollars don't pay for private companies.
Abolish the Senate - they haven't rejected a bill in over 50 years. Strictly ceremonial and wasteful. Only Senator I respect is Anne Cools.
Agree
Abolish the Governor General and all Lieutenant Governors. Again, wasteful and strictly ceremonial.
Agree
Stop giving tax credits to every shitty TV show that comes along. I think all Canadian shows are receiving tax credits.
Sort of Agree
Crack down on people using tax dollars for their own personal vacation, eg) Sheila Copps and Adrienne Clarkson.
Agree, but that will never happen
Allow for private delivery of health care, but only if it's made publicly available. This will make it more efficient and therefore less expensive to the taxpayers.
Agree, I never really saw the whole big deal about this anyway.
Quit making new seats in the House of Commons! These MPs are already making $110,000 a year and there's 308 (!) of them. We don't need anymore.
I think they just need to rethink the setup. Why the hell does PEI have 4 mp's for 250 000 people? Whereas my riding has 115 000 people with only 1 mp.
Quit giving tax dollars to political parties so that they can sway you with their propaganda. Make them raise their own money. (The US should adopt this too.)
Agree
Legalize marijuana and sell it through the government. And no, I'm not some tree hugging leftist hippie. This could save money through all the people we wouldn't have to jail and put through the courts, and then it would generate more revenue and therefore make less taxes to be paid.
Agree, Marijuana is 6 billioin dollar a year industry in BC alone.
Speaking of jail, cut back on all the programs and benefits they get in there. Those wastes of society should quit getting free education and decent living condition. They did the crime, PUNISH THEM.
Agree

I agree with all of those. Especially about the military, we might as well scrap it. That way no one can ask us to go to war.

I disagree with privatization because straight up I come from the bottom. Public housing and all that, so I could care less if all these middle class mofos are gettin taxed, as long as I still have the benefits i can get
